The standard-bearer of French soft-rippened cheeses is Brie, a creamy cow’s milk delight, from the region of the same name. Eiffel Tower Brie features a chalky white rind and a cream-colored, buttery, soft interior that oozes when at the peak of ripeness and temperature. It is legally defined as a soft cow’s milk cheese that includes a surface mold and at least 40% butterfat. The result is a gooey, palate pleasing product that is complete in its flavor and texture, and versatile in nature.
Le Chablochon is made by Fruitères Chabert, a third generation family owned creamery founded in 1936. They use milk from neighboring dairies in the Savoie region, ensuring freshness and quality. Chablochon was inspired by the classic Reblochon de Savoie. The thin orange rind encapsulates a rich, soft, sticky paste. Flavors are buttery with subtle notes of grass and hay.
If you want to sense the pure effect of sheep’s milk on cheese making, you need only taste this cheese. Though mild, this cheese displays the sweet flavor and slight lanolin bite that is typical of sheep’s milk cheeses. Ripened by its outer fleuri, Fromager Brebis has a creamy texture.
Bucheron has an ivory-colored paste surrounded by a bloomy white rind. It is chalky and dense on the interior, and has a thin layer of creamy cheese just below the rind. The flavor is mildly goaty when it is young, and develops a sharper and more goaty flavor as it ages. Bucheron means “logger” in French.
